Red Lights

Is there anybody there?

(Edit) 06/03/2017

Should maybe be better, maybe a 4, taking the acting content involved. Bob De takes third place to be fair. Cillian getting better all the time.

Breakfast on Pluto

El Bandidos rule

(Edit) 25/02/2017

Cillian has a focused thing going on with the camera. Think he was married when this film went out, which is a shade disturbing. Have to say the Irish input is very strong, and there is a certain hypnotic quality all the way through. Still would prefer Terence in Priscilla, Queen of the desert though. Makes me a bit less uncomfortable i guess

Inferno

Tom saves the world

(Edit) 25/02/2017

strange one for Tom. Bit of action man, and saves mankind, all in one day......ish............not quite Capt Phillips, but ticks along

War Dogs

Glory of war and money

(Edit) 21/02/2017

Again the US makes a film about a pair of really nasty people in an almost endearing and comedic way. The Nicholas Cage Lord of War was a better film.............

The huge gain in illegally made money, in a very short time, over hauls everything.........same as drugs. Massive loss of life results in massive profit, so that is OK.

The fascination with crime and murder and guns cannot be stopped in the film industry. Glorification of really evil folk like Jesse James, and Billy the Kid, continues.......................

The Girl on the Train

Emily goes acting, again with effect.

(Edit) 21/02/2017

Read the book, but could not remember much. Quite well crafted film, and Emily does the biz again in the acting department. Almost done like a stage-play in some ways. The scenes are quite tight. Something a bit different for sure..............

Elvis and Nixon

Never finished watching

(Edit) 19/02/2017

Not just boring, or extremely loosely based on one event, but why not actually get someone similar to Elvis? Guy has some of the voice patterns and mannerisms, but that is about it.

Spacey is totally wasted in it, despite having a Nixon like haircut. One for the bin............

Big Hero 6

Japanese slanted Disney.

(Edit) 19/02/2017

Very clever cartoon for all the family. Does have the slightly odd Japanese facet to it, that their films and humour have. The blow up robot is certainly novel, and basically takes the film of course............have to give it 3 as gave Puss in Boots 4 and Shrek 5, so has to be relative............

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Little NZ film

(Edit) 07/02/2017

Nice to see fresh film with nobody you know. Done simply and well, with fabulous NZ countryside. Makes a pleasant change from the multi million pound re-hashes with known names that should know better.

Bridget Jones's Baby

Renee mark 2

(Edit) 04/02/2017

Is quite funny to be fair. Ladies prefer it to fellas. Zel does look a lot odder for sure. Shame really as thought she did well with the original image anyway.

Pawn

Zig zag cops

(Edit) 04/02/2017

Fairly confusing sometimes, floating back and forward, but fairly clever nonetheless. Lots of dead people, but nobody from overseas. Trump be a bit confused by that. American gun deal means hundreds more folk shot internally by indigenous population, that be any form of terrorism!!

Ice Age: Collision Course

First one still the best

(Edit) 30/01/2017

Hollywood always likes to milk a series as much as possible, and is another easy earner for Pegg at the same time. He has scored big time with Startrek and now this!

Kids will love it, and has some quite clever moves in it, although a lot of the dialogue is a bit advanced for the very young, and obvoiusly inserted to appeal more to the parents.............

Let's Go to Prison

Dax Cobra

(Edit) 27/01/2017

Hit and Run still way his best film. This long way short of Stir Crazy. Why do they copy films? I think i could write at least one novel idea into 1.5 hours. Come back Gene and Pryor. Still believe Dax is somehow related to Bruce Dern? So many people in USA they can clone anyone, overnight. The new Spock is way bizarre!

Hell or High Water

Soft spot for Jeff

(Edit) 26/01/2017

Should be a 3 really. Two Guns or No Country or Old Men prob better, but like Jeff, so a biased 4. Plus seen so much junk of late, is good to be able to up something a bit. If Jeff not in it be a 3 :)

Apparently, whatever problems you get in US, and especially Texas, all you need is a gun. Hit a few elderly people with it, shoot any more active types that are in your way, especially poorly paid security guards, and solve your mortgage problems.

We can go bankrupt, and seek benefits, if available..........think i go with our system !

Employee of the Month

Remake of a few

(Edit) 25/01/2017

Got this after seeing Hit and Run to see about Dax. Fairly much re-hash of previous top employee films, but is OK. Very American, as would expect. Watch Denzel when he works in B n Q environment, then watch a good film.

The Pursuit of Happyness

Will goes family

(Edit) 25/01/2017

Multi million superstar does the thing with the son, so double-bubble. All very touching etc. but maybe lacking a bit of cred as the limo takes them back to one of many homes and hotels etc...........
